Stormzy’s fan wanted to show her devotion to the singer but she has now expressed her regret after a temporary henna tattoo on her chest was inked during the summer.
Posting on TikTok, Emily Cook, 19, explained that she paid £10 for the ‘I love Stormzy’ henna tattoo ahead of watching the rapper perform at Leeds Festival in August.
However, the teenager revealed that the tattoo was not lost and that the slogan is still on her chest.
Henna tattoos last only two weeks. Emily received a flood of responses to her clip and was offered advice on how to get rid.

Emily shared the ‘I Love Stormzy’ marking she had made on her chest with TikTok, months after the festival. However, henna can fade after just two weeks.
Emily captioned the post “It’s an amusing story to explain” and joked about regrets over getting the henna ink tattoo.
Emily shared a clip that showed her sitting on the grass at Leeds Festival, wearing a green bikini top and shorts, while a woman did the £10 inking.
However, she was shocked to see that her ‘I love Stormzy’ phrase is still visible in a follow up clip.
A voice over said “I don’t want to live in regret” as Emily exposed her henna tattoo lip synching “that was regret”.
The henna tattoo mistake has been viewed more than 292,000 times. Many people warn that the ink could leave permanent marks.

Other responses to the video, which was captioned “it’s funny story to explain”, were from people offering advice on how to remove henna tattoos.
One person wrote: “Try lemon juice or toothpaste.” Toothpaste can cause tooth pain, but mine was not as bad.
Another said, “Try lemon juice with sugar.”
Another option was to soak in a hot tub and then sit in it for hours. Boardmasters sent me mine.
Another joked that turtleneck jumpers were the best thing for three months.
Emily received many responses to her video. They advised her to fade the henna tattoo with lemon juice and toothpaste.
